The hammer's long handle utilizes a moment arm which can be used to increase the force applied to something from a pivot. The hammer has a long handle because it increases the distance of effort. Since Ideal Mechanical Advantage = Distance of Effort/ Distance of Load, the distance of load stays...

The hammer is an example of a machine when you take a nail out of a piece of wood. is a lever type 2. professionally, how would you describe why the hammer has a long handle, and how that would result in a greater ideal mechanical advantage? please include the forumla of IMA = dl/de and use...

maybe something like that, not too complicated or i won't be able to make it out of normal house stuff

spring and ball, please go in abit further on that. the balls on v string is also known as the balance ball, so i can't use that

My physics class is currently invovled with a project regarding conservation of mechanical energy. I will need to choose or create a model that will demonstrate conservation of mechanical energy, then analyze the model and explain it. Does anyone know of any model that can be made easily...
